Or use the breakiterator function. Also allows for locale differences and some special cases. http://icu.sourceforge.net/apiref/icu4c/classBreakIterator.html#_details
Although we might prefer it to be locale independent. Separately, I was wondering if we should create a variation of the explode function that splits strings into characters representing whole graphemes (base+combining characters). > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrei Zmievski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 10:12 AM > To: Rolland Santimano > Cc: 'PHP Developers Mailing List' > Subject: [PHP-DEV] Re: strrev() impl - Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: > [PHP-CVS] cvs: php-src /ext/standard string.c > > > Not quite.
